Reuters reporting, relayed by AggrNews on Oct. 27 at 17:17 UTC, says the CFTC is probing whether Polymarket violated a 2022 agreement to bar US users.

The probe covers Polymarket's controls and advertising activity in the United States, per sources cited by Reuters. A follow-up update says it also covers customer onboarding and protections on its US platform.

Context from recent coverage: Polymarket fired CMO Matthew Modabber after an internal probe into staged fake-bet videos and undisclosed influencer payments, an episode CoinDesk linked to a CFTC investigation that has not established wrongdoing. Polymarket itself had not commented on the new Reuters claims in its recent posts as of that time.

The report lands a day after Polymarket and Kalshi were named preferred NBA prediction market exchanges with official data and integrity cooperation.
